Bath resealing in Bossington

Bath resealing in Bossington, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Bossington questions

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bossington?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it messy?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What we are called out for in Bossington

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Bossington. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Access to the area

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Resealing in Bossington: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
