Bath resealing in West Tolgus

Bath resealing at your home in West Tolgus

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

West Tolgus: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How long does resealing take?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes West Tolgus. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in West Tolgus

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Resealing in West Tolgus: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
