Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Westcombe

Your questions about bath resealing in Westcombe

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Westcombe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Westcombe

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Westcombe and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually 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.
