Trusted bath resealing in Burraton Coombe

Bath resealing in Burraton Coombe, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burraton Coombe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Burraton Coombe

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you come to Burraton Coombe?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Burraton Coombe. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
