Bath resealing for Tong homes

Bath resealing in Tong without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Tong questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Tong?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tong and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Tong?

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

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 work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we are called out for in Tong

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why it’s worth resealing in Tong

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What affects the price in Tong

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HS2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Tong

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tong as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
