Bath resealing for Eastington homes

Bath resealing in Eastington, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

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. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Eastington. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Eastington

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 won’t last.

Eastington: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
