How we handle bath resealing in Bakers Arms

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bakers Arms use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Bakers Arms

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Resealing in Bakers Arms: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

  • Work done at your home or business

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Bakers Arms

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

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
