Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Bath resealing in Woodsford without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodsford

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.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

What we are called out for in Woodsford

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Woodsford

Do you cover Woodsford?

We do. We send a technician to Woodsford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
