  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Branscombe without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Branscombe

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does bath resealing cost in Branscombe?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EX12 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I book?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Why it’s worth resealing in Branscombe

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why Branscombe clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Branscombe. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

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