Bath resealing in Battlescombe

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Bath resealing in Battlescombe without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Battlescombe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Battlescombe

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Common problems we fix in Battlescombe

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
