Bath resealing in Toogs, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we’re called out for in Toogs

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Toogs

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do I have to be there?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How much does bath resealing cost in Toogs?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Toogs.

Are there extra charges for Toogs?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Toogs, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Resealing in Toogs: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
