Bath resealing in Barnyards

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Barnyards without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Barnyards

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why it’s worth resealing in Barnyards

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
