Trusted bath resealing in Leigh upon Mendip

About our bath resealing in Leigh upon Mendip

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Do you need bath resealing in Leigh upon Mendip?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Leigh upon Mendip

Do you cover Leigh upon Mendip?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Leigh upon Mendip from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Leigh upon Mendip. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
