How we handle bath resealing in St Loye's

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around St Loye's, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Resealing in St Loye's: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why St Loye's clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in St Loye's

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so St Loye's is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in St Loye's?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX2 postcode.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you need bath resealing in St Loye's?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
