About our bath resealing in Cerne Abbas

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Cerne Abbas

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

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Cerne Abbas?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Cerne Abbas

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Cerne Abbas customers choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cerne Abbas use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
