Bath resealing near Pirton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing at your home in Pirton

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Pirton questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does bath resealing cost in Pirton?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, 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 I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What we’re called out for in Pirton

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

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Resealing in Pirton: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price
