Bath resealing near Ackergillshore

Questions from Ackergillshore

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you come to Ackergillshore?

We do. We send a technician to Ackergillshore for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Bath resealing in Ackergillshore, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ackergillshore as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need bath resealing in Ackergillshore?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we work on in Ackergillshore

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Ackergillshore

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t 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.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
