Bath resealing near Bitterne Park

How we handle bath resealing in Bitterne Park

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bitterne Park as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Bitterne Park

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bitterne Park, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Bitterne Park

There is no charge for travel to Bitterne Park. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Bitterne Park

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Bitterne Park?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
