Bath resealing near Knowle

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Knowle

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Knowle

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

If you manage property in Knowle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any 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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Knowle

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
