Trusted bath resealing in Ightfield

Bath resealing in Ightfield, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and damp near the bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Ightfield

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Ightfield

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Common reasons people in Ightfield contact us are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
