About our bath resealing in Bulverton

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. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Bulverton

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Bulverton included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What affects the price in Bulverton

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

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

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

If you are in Bulverton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Bulverton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
