Bath resealing in Burghfield, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Burghfield

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burghfield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Resealing in Burghfield: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

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

Questions from Burghfield

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Burghfield?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Burghfield and the rest of Reading. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Burghfield included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
