Bath resealing for Knowle St Giles homes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in Knowle St Giles without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Signs you need bath resealing in Knowle St Giles

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What affects the price in Knowle St Giles

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Knowle St Giles, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How it works

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 we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Knowle St Giles

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, 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?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
