Bath resealing in Shirburn without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Signs you need bath resealing in Shirburn

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

Shirburn questions

Do you come to Shirburn?

We do. We send a technician to Shirburn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Shirburn?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Shirburn

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Shirburn. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

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’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
