Bath resealing in Ardvasar

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

About our bath resealing in Ardvasar

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Ardvasar

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Ardvasar?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What we are called out for in Ardvasar

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
