Bath resealing in Southam without replacing anything

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. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Older homes around Southam can have uneven walls and floors, so a careful reseal matters even more.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When to call us in Southam

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

If you let a flat or house near Cheltenham Spa station (about 3.6 miles south-west), we repair baths and showers between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. For a rural home like those around Southam, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

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 book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Southam

I let a flat near Cheltenham Spa station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is normally quicker than replacing.

Will you travel to Southam?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, at no extra charge.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you work in Southam?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Southam. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. In a village or hamlet like Southam, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the bath resealing works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Southam. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
