Trusted bath resealing in Bathpool

Bath resealing at your home in Bathpool

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bathpool, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bathpool

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Bathpool

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bathpool.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
