Bath resealing in Toft Hill

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Toft Hill

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Common questions in Toft Hill

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Toft Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Toft Hill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional 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 will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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