Bath resealing in Winterborne Monkton without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Winterborne Monkton questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

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.

Are there extra charges for Winterborne Monkton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Do you need bath resealing in Winterborne Monkton?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
