Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath resealing in Wixoe

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’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book

Your questions about bath resealing in Wixoe

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Wixoe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wixoe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

How long does resealing take?

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Wixoe. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
