About our bath resealing in Waterden

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Waterden

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can landlords book you?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Waterden

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

What we are called out for in Waterden

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
