Bath resealing for Montacute homes

Bath resealing at your home in Montacute

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Montacute: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Montacute. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Montacute

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Montacute

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Montacute?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
