Bath resealing for Little Wittenham homes

Bath resealing in Little Wittenham without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Little Wittenham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about bath resealing in Little Wittenham

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Little Wittenham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Little Wittenham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
