Bath resealing near Battledown

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Bath resealing in Battledown without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, in wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Battledown

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Battledown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Battledown questions

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you cover Battledown?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Battledown. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?

We cover the entire UK, including Battledown and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
