Bath resealing in Keyham, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Keyham

For anyone letting property in or around Keyham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Most clients in Keyham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Keyham

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

Common problems we fix in Keyham

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Keyham questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Resealing in Keyham: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
