Trusted bath resealing in Welby

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our bath resealing in Welby

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with stained silicone and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Welby

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

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

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover Welby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Welby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. 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 pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Welby customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Signs you need bath resealing in Welby

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Welby

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
