Trusted bath resealing in Winkton

About our bath resealing in Winkton

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath resealing in Winkton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Winkton

How much does bath resealing cost in Winkton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
