Your questions about bath resealing in Henstridge

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Henstridge?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Bath resealing in Henstridge without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we are called out for in Henstridge

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
