Do you need bath resealing in Lower Ballam?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Ballam
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Different materials, different repairs
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, to open the joint fully.
Common questions in Lower Ballam
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Lower Ballam?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Landlord and trade work in Lower Ballam
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Ballam as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
