Bath resealing for Bourton homes

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Bourton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Bourton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bourton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
