Bath resealing for Bayton homes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Bayton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Bayton

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bayton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Bayton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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, once the joint is completely dry.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
