FAQs for Minterne Magna

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Minterne Magna?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Minterne Magna

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

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Minterne Magna. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Minterne Magna

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
