How we handle bath resealing in Lydiard Millicent

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Lydiard Millicent

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

Questions from Lydiard Millicent

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

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Swindon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swindon.

How much does bath resealing cost in Lydiard Millicent?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Resealing in Lydiard Millicent: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swindon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
