Trusted bath resealing in Widemouth Bay

About our bath resealing in Widemouth Bay

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Widemouth Bay

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Widemouth Bay

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
