Bath resealing in Crockernwell

About our bath resealing in Crockernwell

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Crockernwell

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Crockernwell?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Crockernwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Crockernwell

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crockernwell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
