Bath resealing for Apes Dale homes

How we handle bath resealing in Apes Dale

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Apes Dale

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Apes Dale

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Most customers in Apes Dale get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Apes Dale questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Apes Dale. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

When to call us in Apes Dale

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
