Bath resealing near Upper Wellingham

Bath resealing at your home in Upper Wellingham

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Upper Wellingham

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Upper Wellingham questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Wellingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
