Bath resealing in Asfordby Hill

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

About our bath resealing in Asfordby Hill

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Signs you need bath resealing in Asfordby Hill

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Asfordby Hill

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

What bath resealing costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Asfordby Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
