Bath resealing in Tarrant Gunville 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. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Tarrant Gunville: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. 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. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

Landlord and trade work in Tarrant Gunville

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarrant Gunville use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Tarrant Gunville, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Tarrant Gunville

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Tarrant Gunville

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

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

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
