Why it’s worth resealing in Colwood

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

About our bath resealing in Colwood

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Colwood. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, 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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Colwood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Colwood

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Colwood?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
