Bath resealing in Mugswell

Do you need bath resealing in Mugswell?

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath resealing in Mugswell

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Mugswell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our pricing.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Mugswell questions

Do you come to Mugswell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mugswell. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Mugswell. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Mugswell. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Mugswell and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
