Bath resealing in Victoria

Bath resealing in Victoria, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Victoria

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Victoria, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, 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, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Victoria

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When to call us in Victoria

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Related advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
