Bath resealing for Little Keyford homes

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How we handle bath resealing in Little Keyford

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Little Keyford

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Little Keyford

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
