Bath resealing at your home in Billesdon

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally 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 price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Billesdon

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about bath resealing in Billesdon

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Billesdon is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

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

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement 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.
