Bath resealing near Blyford

How we handle bath resealing in Blyford

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Blyford

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blyford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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

Common problems we fix in Blyford

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
