About our bath resealing in Avon Common

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. 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 baths, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Avon Common and across Dorset.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Avon Common

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Common problems we fix in Avon Common

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
