Bath Resealing across Angus

About bath resealing in Angus

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How the damage happens

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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