How we handle bath resealing in Little Canford

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Little Canford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Little Canford

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

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Resealing in Little Canford: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

Questions from Little Canford

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
