Bath resealing for Buttsole homes

Bath resealing in Buttsole without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and unsealed corners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Buttsole: your questions answered

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does bath resealing cost in Buttsole?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CT13 postcode.

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How do I book?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Buttsole, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Buttsole

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
