Bath resealing in Waltham

Waltham: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you cover Waltham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waltham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DN37 postcode.

Bath resealing in Waltham without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally 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 we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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 Waltham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN37 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Waltham

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
