Bath resealing near Barwick

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

Bath resealing in Barwick without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take 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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Barwick

How much does bath resealing cost in Barwick?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Barwick?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barwick and the rest of Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Barwick

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

If you manage property in Barwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath resealing in Barwick?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
