Trusted bath resealing in Combe Throop

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Bath resealing at your home in Combe Throop

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. Whether it’s damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When to call us in Combe Throop

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlord and trade work in Combe Throop

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Combe Throop, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
