Book bath resealing in Toftwood

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 won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

About our bath resealing in Toftwood

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Toftwood

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Toftwood

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I have to be there?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Toftwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
