Signs you need bath resealing in Tonwell

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Tonwell. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why it’s worth resealing in Tonwell

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, 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 old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Tonwell: your questions answered

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

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Tonwell?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SG12 postcode.
