Bath resealing in Sutton St Michael

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Bath resealing in Sutton St Michael without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Sutton St Michael, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Sutton St Michael

We don’t charge extra for travel to Sutton St Michael. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
