Bath resealing near Glanvilles Wootton

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath resealing in Glanvilles Wootton

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and an untidy old seal.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Glanvilles Wootton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Glanvilles Wootton?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
