Bath resealing near Bonchurch

Bath resealing in Bonchurch without replacing anything

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. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Bonchurch: your questions answered

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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.

Do you come to Bonchurch?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bonchurch and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Bonchurch

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
