Bath resealing near Escott

How we handle bath resealing in Escott

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Escott

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Escott use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Escott

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

Everywhere in the UK, Escott included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Escott.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Escott: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
