About our bath resealing in Midford

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and gaps in the seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Midford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Midford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Midford

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Midford

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
