Common questions in Potterton

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Potterton?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Bath resealing at your home in Potterton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Potterton

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Potterton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Potterton

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

Do you need bath resealing in Potterton?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
