Bath resealing for Callington homes

Bath resealing at your home in Callington

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Landlord and trade work in Callington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why it’s worth resealing in Callington

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
