Bath resealing for Sebastopol homes

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we handle bath resealing in Sebastopol

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Sebastopol

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sebastopol, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Sebastopol

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sebastopol as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Sebastopol

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Sebastopol?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Torfaen?

Everywhere in the UK, Sebastopol included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
