Trusted bath resealing in Appleshaw

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our bath resealing in Appleshaw

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and gaps by the taps.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Appleshaw and across Hampshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Advice

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most customers in Appleshaw get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Appleshaw: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Appleshaw is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in Appleshaw?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
