10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing in Langton Matravers without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Langton Matravers: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Langton Matravers. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Langton Matravers, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langton Matravers as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
