Bath resealing near Over Compton

Bath resealing at your home in Over Compton

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What we are called out for in Over Compton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

Your questions about bath resealing in Over Compton

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

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

Do you come to Over Compton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Over Compton and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Over Compton. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
