Bath resealing for Dean homes

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Dean, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.

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

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dean

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Dean

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover Dean?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dean. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Common problems we fix in Dean

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
