Bath resealing for Tarvin homes

About our bath resealing in Tarvin

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Tarvin

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover Tarvin?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Tarvin from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why it’s worth resealing in Tarvin

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Tarvin

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
