Bath resealing in Maidencombe

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maidencombe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bath resealing at your home in Maidencombe

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Maidencombe: your questions answered

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

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

Do you work in Maidencombe?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Maidencombe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Maidencombe

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
