Bath resealing in Withington

Landlord and trade work in Withington

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Bath resealing in Withington without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Questions from Withington

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long does resealing take?

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Withington

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business

Signs you need bath resealing in Withington

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
