Bath resealing for Walditch homes

Bath resealing in Walditch without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 affects the price in Walditch

We charge the same across the UK, including Walditch. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Resealing in Walditch: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise 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.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Questions from Walditch

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does bath resealing cost in Walditch?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
