Bath resealing in Penkhull

How we handle bath resealing in Penkhull

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

Common problems we fix in Penkhull

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Common reasons people in Penkhull contact us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Penkhull

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Penkhull?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Penkhull. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Penkhull, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
