Resealing in Bassett: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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.

Bath resealing in Bassett, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Bassett

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Bassett included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bassett?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Bassett, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Bassett

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
