Bath resealing in Alverstone, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Alverstone?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Alverstone questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What information do you need?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alverstone

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Alverstone

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
