Bath resealing near Ash Vale

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Bath resealing in Ash Vale, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Ash Vale

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Ash Vale

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
