Bath Resealing in South Gloucestershire

Bath resealing across South Gloucestershire: what to expect

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

• Give the seal a regular clean
• Run the extractor fan during and after showers
• Wipe the joints dry after use
• Air the room after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
