Bath resealing in Bassett

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bassett

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Bath resealing in Bassett without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

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

Questions from Bassett

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work in Bassett?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bassett and the rest of Southampton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bassett?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work 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 protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Do you need bath resealing in Bassett?

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
