Bath resealing in Upper Cotton

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of 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. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

About our bath resealing in Upper Cotton

A good reseal is all about preparation: 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. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

What affects the price in Upper Cotton

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Upper Cotton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Cotton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Upper Cotton

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Upper Cotton

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Upper Cotton

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
