Bath resealing for Wadshelf homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Bath resealing at your home in Wadshelf

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.

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

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Wadshelf

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Wadshelf contact us are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched

Baths

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Wadshelf

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wadshelf and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
