Bath resealing in Whatstandwell

What affects the price in Whatstandwell

There is no charge for travel to Whatstandwell. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Bath resealing in Whatstandwell, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Resealing in Whatstandwell: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Whatstandwell

If you manage property in Whatstandwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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