How we handle bath resealing in Compton

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Compton questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Compton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Compton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Compton

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Resealing in Compton: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Compton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price
