Bath resealing in Whaddon, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about bath resealing in Whaddon

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you cover Whaddon?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whaddon and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whaddon

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What affects the price in Whaddon

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Whaddon

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Whaddon customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our full price list.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
