How we handle bath resealing in Tong

Preparation is everything in a reseal: 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’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tong as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Resealing in Tong: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we work on in Tong

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tong. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Questions from Tong

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TF11 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
