Trusted bath resealing in Bawdeswell

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Bath resealing in Bawdeswell without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and stained silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Bawdeswell. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

For a price in Bawdeswell, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
