Trusted bath resealing in Millbridge

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

About our bath resealing in Millbridge

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Millbridge. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Millbridge questions

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath resealing in Millbridge?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
