Bath resealing in Ballynahinch

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Bath resealing at your home in Ballynahinch

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. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and an untidy old seal, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ballynahinch and across Down.

Do you need bath resealing in Ballynahinch?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Ballynahinch

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Ballynahinch?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ballynahinch. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ballynahinch included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
