Bath resealing near Pylle

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing in Pylle without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and damp near the bath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Resealing in Pylle: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pylle

For anyone letting property in or around Pylle, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
