Bath resealing in Ponsford

Bath resealing in Ponsford without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ponsford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Ponsford

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Ponsford?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Ponsford: your questions answered

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Ponsford. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
