Bath resealing for Withycombe homes

About our bath resealing in Withycombe

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Withycombe questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I book?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Withycombe included. Travel is included in the price.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need bath resealing in Withycombe

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
