Bath resealing in Upper Stratton, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Stratton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Stratton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Upper Stratton

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

What affects the price in Upper Stratton

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Upper Stratton: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Upper Stratton and the rest of Swindon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
