Bath resealing for West Milton homes

Bath resealing in West Milton without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath resealing in West Milton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Take a look at our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in West Milton

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in West Milton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in West Milton

If you manage property in West Milton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy 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 anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in West Milton

How long will it take?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

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