Bath resealing near South Petherton

Bath resealing at your home in South Petherton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

South Petherton questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What happens next?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Do you come to South Petherton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to South Petherton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Petherton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Petherton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Resealing in South Petherton: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for South Petherton. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in South Petherton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
