Bath resealing at your home in Undley

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Undley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Undley

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What we’re called out for in Undley

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Why it’s worth resealing in Undley

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why Undley customers choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint 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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
