Bath resealing near Stoke Gifford

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Bath resealing in Stoke Gifford, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stoke Gifford as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

When to call us in Stoke Gifford

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Gifford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

Your questions about bath resealing in Stoke Gifford

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Stoke Gifford?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing 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.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
