How we handle bath resealing in Bardsea

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Bardsea questions

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What affects the price in Bardsea

There is no charge for travel to Bardsea. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Bardsea

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
