Bath resealing in Yealmbridge

Bath resealing in Yealmbridge without replacing anything

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 baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Yealmbridge

We charge the same across the UK, including Yealmbridge. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Yealmbridge

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there any odour?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Yealmbridge and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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