10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing at your home in Athelney

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Athelney. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Athelney

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
