How we handle bath resealing in Gibbonsdown

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Gibbonsdown

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

All of the Vale of Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
