Trusted bath resealing in Dittisham

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we handle bath resealing in Dittisham

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  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. 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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Choosing a repair company

Dittisham questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long does resealing take?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dittisham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
