Bath resealing in Ilchester

Bath resealing in Ilchester, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix 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

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ilchester: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What do you need from me?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ilchester.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Ilchester

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

What we’re called out for in Ilchester

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
