Bath resealing for Walterstone Common homes

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walterstone Common as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Bath resealing at your home in Walterstone Common

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and stained silicone.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Walterstone Common

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Walterstone Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Walterstone Common

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HR2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
