About our bath resealing in Wichelstowe

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

Wichelstowe questions

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the whole of Swindon?

Across the UK, and that includes Wichelstowe. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Resealing in Wichelstowe: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Wichelstowe

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
