Bath resealing at your home in Barnwell

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Resealing in Barnwell: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Common questions in Barnwell

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How much does bath resealing cost in Barnwell?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What affects the price in Barnwell

We don’t charge extra for travel to Barnwell. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
