Bath resealing near The Valley

About our bath resealing in The Valley

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone.

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we’re called out for in The Valley

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in The Valley

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Valley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Your questions about bath resealing in The Valley

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for The Valley?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME13 postcode.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
