Trusted bath resealing in Stambourne Green

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How we handle bath resealing in Stambourne Green

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Stambourne Green

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

Do you need bath resealing in Stambourne Green?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stambourne Green

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
