Bath resealing in Tunstall, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Tunstall. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Tunstall

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Tunstall

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
