Bath resealing in Winsham

Bath resealing in Winsham without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Winsham questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Winsham clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

What we’re called out for in Winsham

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
