Bath resealing for Bampton homes

Bath resealing in Bampton without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re 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.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bampton: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When to call us in Bampton

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Bampton contact us are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Bampton

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Bampton. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
