About our bath resealing in Withleigh

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Withleigh and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Withleigh

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Withleigh

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Withleigh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Withleigh

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Withleigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Do you need bath resealing in Withleigh?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
