Bath resealing near Purton

How we handle bath resealing in Purton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in Purton

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Purton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Purton

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Purton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Purton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
