Bath resealing at your home in Cann

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Cann

There’s no charge for travel to Cann. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Cann

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cann

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Cann questions

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

Across the UK, so Cann is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for Cann?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
