Bath resealing for Stowey homes

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing in Stowey without replacing anything

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 regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Stowey

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Stowey?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stowey and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Resealing in Stowey: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
