Bath resealing in Bushmead without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Bushmead: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bushmead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Bushmead, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Do you need bath resealing in Bushmead?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Bushmead questions

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you work in Bushmead?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bushmead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Are there extra charges for Bushmead?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bushmead as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
