Bath resealing near Exbourne

Bath resealing at your home in Exbourne

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Exbourne

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you work in Exbourne?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Exbourne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does bath resealing cost in Exbourne?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Exbourne

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
