Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Gutch Common without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint 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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about bath resealing in Gutch Common

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can you do it?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gutch Common?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Gutch Common

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Is resealing worth it?
