Bath resealing at your home in Wootton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Wootton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Wootton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.

Common questions in Wootton

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Wootton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: 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

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

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

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
