Trusted bath resealing in Wangford

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wangford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Bath resealing in Wangford, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Wangford

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Wangford: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Wangford questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Wangford.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Wangford?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wangford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

How it works

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 clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
