About our bath resealing in Tunstead

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Tunstead

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tunstead

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Tunstead

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Are there extra charges for Tunstead?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Tunstead

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
