Bath resealing in Milston

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint 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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we handle bath resealing in Milston

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath resealing in Milston

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long will it take?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, 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 will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Milston

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SP4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
