Bath resealing in Watersfield

How we handle bath resealing in Watersfield

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Watersfield

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Watersfield included. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in Watersfield

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
