Bath resealing for Lower Pennington homes

Bath resealing at your home in Lower Pennington

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Pennington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Pennington. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Do you need bath resealing in Lower Pennington?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

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

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

FAQs for Lower Pennington

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What information do you need?

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