Bath resealing in Wyverstone

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bath resealing in Wyverstone, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, in baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Wyverstone

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Wyverstone

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover Wyverstone?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wyverstone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
