Trusted bath resealing in Upper Basildon

How we handle bath resealing in Upper Basildon

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Basildon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Upper Basildon

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Upper Basildon

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again

  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
