Resealing in Axbridge: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business

About our bath resealing in Axbridge

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Axbridge: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work in Axbridge?

We do. We send a technician to Axbridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Axbridge

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Axbridge

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
