Bath resealing in Ash Priors

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Ash Priors without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Ash Priors

There is no charge for travel to Ash Priors. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Ash Priors

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Landlord and trade work in Ash Priors

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
