Need bath resealing in Kingston St Mary?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath resealing in Kingston St Mary, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kingston St Mary and across Somerset.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What affects the price in Kingston St Mary

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s 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 reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common problems we fix in Kingston St Mary

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Kingston St Mary questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
