Bath resealing in Wraxall

Bath resealing in Wraxall without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and damp near the bath, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Wraxall

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

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS48 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Wraxall

How much does bath resealing cost in Wraxall?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wraxall

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
