Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trowley Bottom

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

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.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

When to call us in Trowley Bottom

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath resealing in Trowley Bottom

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AL3 postcode.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Trowley Bottom. Prices don’t change with location.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
