Trusted bath resealing in Old Dilton

Bath resealing in Old Dilton, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Old Dilton

  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Old Dilton. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Shower trays

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

Old Dilton questions

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
