Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in Ubbeston

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for Ubbeston

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Ubbeston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ubbeston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our full price list.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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