Bath resealing for South Cerney homes

Bath resealing at your home in South Cerney

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

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, for the same reason.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in South Cerney

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Cerney

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Common questions in South Cerney

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Do you cover South Cerney?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to South Cerney. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

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