Bath resealing for Chilton homes

How we handle bath resealing in Chilton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and unsealed corners.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chilton and across Oxfordshire.

Landlord and trade work in Chilton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Chilton: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Chilton clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Chilton

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
