How we handle bath resealing in Rampisham

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. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, we can generally put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rampisham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rampisham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Rampisham

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
