Bath resealing in Washford

How we handle bath resealing in Washford

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Washford: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

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

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Resealing in Washford: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

Signs you need bath resealing in Washford

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
