Resealing in Compton Bassett: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Compton Bassett clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it

Compton Bassett questions

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Compton Bassett?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common problems we fix in Compton Bassett

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.
