Trusted bath resealing in Avon

Bath resealing in Avon, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath resealing in Avon?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

Resealing in Avon: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Avon: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Avon.

Do you cover Avon?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Avon and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Landlord and trade work in Avon

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
