Bath resealing in Barnstone

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath resealing in Barnstone, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with stained silicone and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Barnstone

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Barnstone and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Barnstone

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Barnstone

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Barnstone

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Barnstone?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
