Trusted bath resealing in Owlpen

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our bath resealing in Owlpen

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Owlpen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common problems we fix in Owlpen

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not 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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Questions from Owlpen

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
