Bath resealing at your home in Shipham

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shipham and across North Somerset.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Shipham

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Why it’s worth resealing in Shipham

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Shipham. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
