Book bath resealing in Moorend

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we handle bath resealing in Moorend

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Moorend

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Your questions about bath resealing in Moorend

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • 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 ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
