Your questions about bath resealing in Stibb Cross

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Stibb Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Stibb Cross

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Why it’s worth resealing in Stibb Cross

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
