Trusted bath resealing in Charsfield

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Charsfield, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Charsfield

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone

Our hiring checklist

Charsfield: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Charsfield?

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

How do I book?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Charsfield?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP13 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

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

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why it’s worth resealing in Charsfield

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
