Bath resealing in Amberley

When to call us in Amberley

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

About our bath resealing in Amberley

Preparation is everything in a reseal: 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. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and leaks at the edges, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Amberley as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Amberley

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our full price list.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Amberley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Common questions in Amberley

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Amberley and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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