Bath resealing in Burghclere, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath resealing in Burghclere

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Burghclere.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What affects the price in Burghclere

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Burghclere get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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