Trusted bath resealing in Horfield

Bath resealing in Horfield without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Horfield

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Horfield

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common problems we fix in Horfield

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Horfield. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
