Bath resealing for Old Warren homes

Why it’s worth resealing in Old Warren

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

About our bath resealing in Old Warren

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we are called out for in Old Warren

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Old Warren contact us include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Your questions about bath resealing in Old Warren

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Old Warren?

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

Landlord and trade work in Old Warren

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Old Warren, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Old Warren. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
