Bath resealing at your home in Gaunt's Common

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Common problems we fix in Gaunt's Common

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common questions in Gaunt's Common

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you work in Gaunt's Common?

We do. Technicians travel to Gaunt's Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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