Need bath resealing in Chillington?

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

About our bath resealing in Chillington

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chillington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Chillington

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Your questions about bath resealing in Chillington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
