Bath resealing for Mashbury homes

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath resealing in Mashbury, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

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

Landlord and trade work in Mashbury

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mashbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When to call us in Mashbury

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
