Bath resealing for Carburton homes

Bath resealing in Carburton, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses

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

If you manage property in Carburton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Common problems we fix in Carburton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Carburton

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Carburton.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Carburton. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
