Bath resealing for Appin homes

About our bath resealing in Appin

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Appin, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Appin

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Appin

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Appin

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

How much does bath resealing cost in Appin?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA38 postcode.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
