Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

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 quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath resealing in Southampton

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about bath resealing in Southampton

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Southampton included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

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

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Southampton.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Landlord and trade work in Southampton

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
