Bath resealing in Ashbrittle

Bath resealing in Ashbrittle, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Ashbrittle. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Ashbrittle

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.
