Bath resealing in Barrow Gurney

Questions from Barrow Gurney

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?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Barrow Gurney?

We do. We send a technician to Barrow Gurney for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Bath resealing in Barrow Gurney, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlord and trade work in Barrow Gurney

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath resealing in Barrow Gurney

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What affects the price in Barrow Gurney

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
