Bath resealing in Wheathampstead

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Bath resealing in Wheathampstead, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on 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.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we’re called out for in Wheathampstead

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Common reasons people in Wheathampstead contact us include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
