Bath resealing in Burcott

Bath resealing in Burcott without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Burcott and across Somerset.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in Burcott

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burcott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why it’s worth resealing in Burcott

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

FAQs for Burcott

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work in Burcott?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Burcott for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
