Bath resealing at your home in Chew Magna

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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 if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Chew Magna: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Chew Magna

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
