Trusted bath resealing in Wasps Nest

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Bath resealing in Wasps Nest, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time.

When to call us in Wasps Nest

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Wasps Nest

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Wasps Nest?

We do. We send a technician to Wasps Nest for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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

Resealing in Wasps Nest: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.

Why Wasps Nest clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wasps Nest

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wasps Nest. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
