Bath resealing near Ventnor

How we handle bath resealing in Ventnor

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Ventnor

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Ventnor: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO38 postcode.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
