Bath resealing in Stroud

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we handle bath resealing in Stroud

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and unsealed corners.

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Stroud

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material

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.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in Stroud

Do you work in Stroud?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stroud for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Stroud

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
