Bath resealing for Bulcamp homes

Bath resealing at your home in Bulcamp

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

What we’re called out for in Bulcamp

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Bulcamp contact us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Bulcamp

Does someone need to be in?

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.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Bulcamp

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Bulcamp, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
