Bath resealing in Blewbury

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Bath resealing at your home in Blewbury

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

FAQs for Blewbury

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When to call us in Blewbury

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
