Bath resealing for Loxwood homes

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Loxwood. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Bath resealing in Loxwood, done in place

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. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loxwood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Signs you need bath resealing in Loxwood

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

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Loxwood

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

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Loxwood?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Loxwood?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Loxwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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