Bath resealing for Epwell homes

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Epwell, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Epwell

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

When to call us in Epwell

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Common reasons people in Epwell contact us are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Epwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

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

Epwell: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Epwell. Prices do not change with location.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
