Bath resealing in Barbon without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What we’re called out for in Barbon

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Barbon

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Barbon questions

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are there extra charges for Barbon?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Barbon. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
