Bath resealing in Almholme

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Bath resealing in Almholme, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Resealing in Almholme: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Almholme. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Almholme and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Almholme: your questions answered

What information do you need?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need bath resealing in Almholme?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
