Need bath resealing in Semer?

For landlords and businesses

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bath resealing at your home in Semer

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Semer

How much does bath resealing cost in Semer?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP7 postcode.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

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

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.

When to call us in Semer

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
