Bath resealing for Old Alresford homes

Do you need bath resealing in Old Alresford?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath resealing in Old Alresford, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

What bath resealing costs

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

Common questions in Old Alresford

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Old Alresford and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How much does bath resealing cost in Old Alresford?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
