Your questions about bath resealing in Purse Caundle

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

About our bath resealing in Purse Caundle

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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 we are called out for in Purse Caundle

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What affects the price in Purse Caundle

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Purse Caundle

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Purse Caundle as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Purse Caundle

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
