Bath resealing near Upware

Bath resealing at your home in Upware

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Your questions about bath resealing in Upware

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Upware. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Upware

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upware use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When to call us in Upware

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
