Bath resealing in Talbot Woods

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath resealing in Talbot Woods without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Talbot Woods, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Talbot Woods use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When to call us in Talbot Woods

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Talbot Woods

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
