Bath resealing in Arnesby, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Do you need bath resealing in Arnesby?

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

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Arnesby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Arnesby

If you manage property in Arnesby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Arnesby questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Arnesby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Arnesby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE8 postcode.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
