Bath resealing near Halberton

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

About our bath resealing in Halberton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Halberton as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How to compare quotes

Halberton: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How much does bath resealing cost in Halberton?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX16 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Halberton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Send photos for a quote
