Bath resealing near Butterton

Bath resealing in Butterton without replacing anything

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. We are often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we are called out for in Butterton

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

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Butterton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Butterton

Are there extra charges for Butterton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Do you cover Butterton?

We do. We send a technician to Butterton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Butterton?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Butterton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
