Bath resealing near Higher Vexford

Bath resealing in Higher Vexford 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 many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Higher Vexford

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • Damp near the bath
