Bath resealing in Westborough

About our bath resealing in Westborough

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Westborough and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Westborough, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Do you need bath resealing in Westborough?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Resealing in Westborough: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Westborough: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price
