How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Pontshill Marsh

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Pontshill Marsh

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pontshill Marsh

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Pontshill Marsh, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Pontshill Marsh. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pontshill Marsh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
