DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in West Willoughby?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

West Willoughby questions

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

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.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are there extra charges for West Willoughby?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from photos?

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

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 photos of each item.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
