Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath resealing in Great Bedwyn without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth resealing in Great Bedwyn

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

What the surface is made of
How many areas need work
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

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

Your postcode, so we can check dates
Any earlier repairs or coatings
The material, if you know it
One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Great Bedwyn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Dry the seal after bathing
Keep bottles off the joints
Let steam out after showers

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Great Bedwyn: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
