Bath resealing for Muchelney homes

Bath resealing in Muchelney without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Muchelney

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Muchelney get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Muchelney as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Muchelney: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Muchelney?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Signs you need bath resealing in Muchelney

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

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

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
