Bath resealing in West Compton

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to West Compton. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

For a price in West Compton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath resealing at your home in West Compton

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in West Compton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why it’s worth resealing in West Compton

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint 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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
