Bath resealing near Waterslack

How we handle bath resealing in Waterslack

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Waterslack questions

Are you accredited?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterslack

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in Waterslack

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

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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