Bath resealing for Ringsfield Corner homes

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Ringsfield Corner

If you manage property in Ringsfield Corner, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in Ringsfield Corner?

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Ringsfield Corner get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Ringsfield Corner

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. 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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Advice

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
