Bath resealing in Martock

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Bath resealing in Martock, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We are often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, in baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Martock

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Martock

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Martock and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Martock

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Why it’s worth resealing in Martock

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
