Bath resealing in Stone

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Stone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath resealing in Stone

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Stone questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can landlords book you?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

When to call us in Stone

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Stone

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
