Bath resealing near Withersfield

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Withersfield

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Withersfield: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long will it take?

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Withersfield use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath resealing in Withersfield?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
