About our bath resealing in Milton Combe

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Milton Combe

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Milton Combe?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Milton Combe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Milton Combe

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
