Bath resealing in Chaddleworth

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

How we handle bath resealing in Chaddleworth

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common problems we fix in Chaddleworth

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for these signs:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chaddleworth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Chaddleworth

Do you cover the entire of West Berkshire?

Across the UK, so Chaddleworth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
