Bath resealing near Tredworth

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath resealing in Tredworth without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Tredworth

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are there extra charges for Tredworth?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Tredworth

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
