Bath resealing for Lower Westmancote homes

Common problems we fix in Lower Westmancote

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing in Lower Westmancote, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and unsealed corners.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Lower Westmancote: your questions answered

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
