Trusted bath resealing in Southwater

Bath resealing in Southwater, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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

Landlord and trade work in Southwater

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

If you manage property in Southwater, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Signs you need bath resealing in Southwater

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Southwater

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Southwater. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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