About our bath resealing in Winterbourne Steepleton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

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

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Winterbourne Steepleton

Do you come to Winterbourne Steepleton?

We do. We send a technician to Winterbourne Steepleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Winterbourne Steepleton?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Winterbourne Steepleton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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