About our bath resealing in Pope's Hill

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and unsealed corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pope's Hill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Pope's Hill

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Pope's Hill

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How much does bath resealing cost in Pope's Hill?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
