Bath resealing near Chittlehampton

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

About our bath resealing in Chittlehampton

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Chittlehampton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Chittlehampton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Chittlehampton

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

When to call us in Chittlehampton

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chittlehampton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Chittlehampton

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Most clients in Chittlehampton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
