Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing at your home in Lower Ascott

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lower Ascott, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Ascott

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lower Ascott. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
