Bath resealing for Upper Milton homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath resealing in Upper Milton without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with 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. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Upper Milton

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Upper Milton

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Milton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
