What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Somerford questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

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

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST19 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Somerford, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
