Trusted bath resealing in Sampford Brett

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

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

About our bath resealing in Sampford Brett

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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

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

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Sampford Brett. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Sampford Brett

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Sampford Brett questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sampford Brett.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long does a reseal take?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
