Need bath resealing in Nether Exe?

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath resealing in Nether Exe, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Nether Exe: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlord and trade work in Nether Exe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Nether Exe questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Nether Exe?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need bath resealing in Nether Exe?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Common reasons people in Nether Exe contact us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
