Bath resealing in Galhampton

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Galhampton

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Your questions about bath resealing in Galhampton

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Galhampton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses 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.

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.
