How we handle bath resealing in Market Lavington

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Your questions about bath resealing in Market Lavington

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How soon can you come?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How the visit works

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

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Market Lavington

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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