Bath resealing for Antron homes

About our bath resealing in Antron

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Antron

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Antron?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Antron

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
