Bath Resealing across Wokingham

Bath resealing across Wokingham: what to expect

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wokingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wokingham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Wokingham

There is no area surcharge for Wokingham. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Wokingham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Wokingham

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
