Bath resealing in Millbrook

Bath resealing in Millbrook without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Millbrook as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Millbrook use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Common questions in Millbrook

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

When to call us in Millbrook

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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