Bath resealing for Upper Caldecote homes

About our bath resealing in Upper Caldecote

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Caldecote

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What affects the price in Upper Caldecote

There’s no area surcharge for Upper Caldecote. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Upper Caldecote questions

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Upper Caldecote

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
