Bath resealing in Ludgershall

Bath resealing in Ludgershall, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ludgershall and across Buckinghamshire.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

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

What affects the price in Ludgershall

We charge the same across the UK, including Ludgershall. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we are called out for in Ludgershall

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

10 questions to ask before booking

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
