Bath resealing near South Horrington

Bath resealing in South Horrington, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

When to call us in South Horrington

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in South Horrington

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Shower trays

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