Trusted bath resealing in West Stafford

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

Bath resealing in West Stafford, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from West Stafford

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Stafford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in West Stafford

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For a price in West Stafford, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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