What affects the price in Woodgate

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing at your home in Woodgate

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common problems we fix in Woodgate

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath resealing in Woodgate

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you come to Woodgate?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Woodgate and the rest of Leicester. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Woodgate included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Woodgate?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Woodgate customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
