Bath resealing for Newton Poppleford homes

How we handle bath resealing in Newton Poppleford

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Newton Poppleford

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint 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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

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

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
