Bath resealing for Wantisden homes

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will 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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Resealing in Wantisden: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath resealing in Wantisden

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

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

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Wantisden

We don’t charge extra for travel to Wantisden. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Wantisden

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
