Bath resealing in Monksilver, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Monksilver and across Somerset.

What we’re called out for in Monksilver

Sealant doesn’t last forever. 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:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

Questions from Monksilver

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you work in Monksilver?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Monksilver. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Monksilver

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures
