Bath resealing in Martyr Worthy

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Martyr Worthy

Bath resealing in Martyr Worthy without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

Common questions in Martyr Worthy

Do you work in Martyr Worthy?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Martyr Worthy. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Resealing in Martyr Worthy: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
