Book bath resealing in Woodhorn

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Woodhorn. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our bath resealing in Woodhorn

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodhorn

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Woodhorn questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Woodhorn.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you cover Woodhorn?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Woodhorn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
