Bath resealing in Barston

Your questions about bath resealing in Barston

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How we handle bath resealing in Barston

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Barston

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Barston customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we are called out for in Barston

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
