Bath resealing for Botley homes

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Bath resealing in Botley without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

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

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Botley

If you manage property in Botley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Botley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Botley: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Botley?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

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

When can you do it?

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

Resealing in Botley: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Botley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
