Bath resealing at your home in Summerlands

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Summerlands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Do you need bath resealing in Summerlands?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Summerlands questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
