Bath resealing in Washingborough

Bath resealing in Washingborough without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

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

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Washingborough. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

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

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Washingborough

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Washingborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Washingborough

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can landlords book you?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Common problems we fix in Washingborough

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
