Bath resealing for Tantobie homes

About our bath resealing in Tantobie

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Tantobie

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

Questions from Tantobie

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Tantobie?

We do. We send a technician to Tantobie for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
