Trusted bath resealing in Little Somborne

When to call us in Little Somborne

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Little Somborne without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Materials we work on in Little Somborne

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Little Somborne and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Little Somborne questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not 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.
