Bath resealing for North Coker homes

About our bath resealing in North Coker

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in North Coker: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common questions in North Coker

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Common problems we fix in North Coker

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
