Bath resealing in Bodden

Bath resealing in Bodden, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, we can help.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Bodden

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Bodden?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bodden and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Signs you need bath resealing in Bodden

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Bodden

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bodden. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bodden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
