Bath resealing in Rotherfield Peppard

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle bath resealing in Rotherfield Peppard

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Rotherfield Peppard

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you work in Rotherfield Peppard?

We do. Technicians travel to Rotherfield Peppard from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Rotherfield Peppard

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
