Trusted bath resealing in Symonds Yat

Landlord and trade work in Symonds Yat

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we handle bath resealing in Symonds Yat

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Symonds Yat

Do you work in Symonds Yat?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Symonds Yat from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you accredited?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Symonds Yat get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

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

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HR9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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