Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing at your home in Buscot

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buscot

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

On the day, 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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath resealing in Buscot

Are there extra charges for Buscot?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

How much does bath resealing cost in Buscot?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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