Bath resealing near Little Ditton

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

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

How we handle bath resealing in Little Ditton

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Little Ditton

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlord and trade work in Little Ditton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Little Ditton

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work in Little Ditton?

We do. We send a technician to Little Ditton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why it’s worth resealing in Little Ditton

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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