Bath resealing in Ovington, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and gaps in the seal.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Resealing in Ovington: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common questions in Ovington

Will you leave a mess?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you work in Ovington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ovington. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Ovington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
