Bath resealing near Shapwick

Bath resealing in Shapwick without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Shapwick

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Shapwick

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shapwick use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shapwick, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
