Bath resealing near Allerford

How we handle bath resealing in Allerford

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
