How we handle bath resealing in Buckland

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Buckland

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RH3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Buckland

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Resealing in Buckland: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
