Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How we handle bath resealing in Offham

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Offham

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Offham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Offham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
