Bath resealing for Nettlecombe homes

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Nettlecombe without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Nettlecombe questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

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

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

Do you work in Nettlecombe?

We do. We send a technician to Nettlecombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

What we are called out for in Nettlecombe

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Nettlecombe

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

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
