Bath resealing near Woodmancote

About our bath resealing in Woodmancote

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PO10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Woodmancote: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Woodmancote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you work in Woodmancote?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Woodmancote and the rest of West Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodmancote

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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Woodmancote

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

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Woodmancote

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
