Bath resealing in Benville

How we handle bath resealing in Benville

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, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Benville

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benville use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Benville. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Benville and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Benville

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Benville

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We work UK-wide, so Benville is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
