About our bath resealing in Summerstown

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

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

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

What we’re called out for in Summerstown

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

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

  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Summerstown: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Summerstown.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Summerstown. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
