Bath resealing near Wiveliscombe

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wiveliscombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Wiveliscombe customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Bath resealing in Wiveliscombe without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Wiveliscombe questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wiveliscombe. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Wiveliscombe

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Wiveliscombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
