Bath resealing in Tin Town

Resealing in Tin Town: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Bath resealing at your home in Tin Town

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We’re frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Tin Town

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Tin Town

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
