Trusted bath resealing in Cranmore

Landlord and trade work in Cranmore

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle bath resealing in Cranmore

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Cranmore

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

FAQs for Cranmore

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Cranmore

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Cranmore and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
