Your questions about bath resealing in Alton Priors

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Alton Priors?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alton Priors for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alton Priors

Letting agents often 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, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need bath resealing in Alton Priors?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Common reasons people in Alton Priors contact us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
