Bath resealing in Coalway

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

How we handle bath resealing in Coalway

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Why it’s worth resealing in Coalway

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Coalway: your questions answered

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Coalway?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Coalway from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Coalway and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Coalway?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Coalway

We charge the same across the UK, including Coalway. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
