How we handle bath resealing in Wakes Colne

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Wakes Colne. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

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.

  • Black mould in the sealant

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job 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 how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wakes Colne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Wakes Colne: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you come to Wakes Colne?

We do. Technicians travel to Wakes Colne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
