How we handle bath resealing in Woodbury

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any 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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Woodbury

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Woodbury

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Woodbury

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
