Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not 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.

How we handle bath resealing in Baybridge

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Baybridge: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What we are called out for in Baybridge

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used 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. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

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 price the job the same day in most cases.

Why it’s worth resealing in Baybridge

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything

Landlords, agents and businesses in Baybridge

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
