How we handle bath resealing in Widney Manor

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Widney Manor

Can you quote from photos?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you cover the whole of Solihull?

Across the UK, so Widney Manor is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Widney Manor?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Widney Manor. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Widney Manor as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Widney Manor

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Widney Manor

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
