Bath resealing in Burghclere Common, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Burghclere Common

There is no charge for travel to Burghclere Common. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burghclere Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Do you need bath resealing in Burghclere Common?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
