Bath resealing in Combe Down

About our bath resealing in Combe Down

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Combe Down

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Combe Down: your questions answered

Do you cover Combe Down?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Combe Down for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
