How we handle bath resealing in Bearstone

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Bearstone

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you come to Bearstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bearstone and the rest of Shropshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Bearstone included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bearstone

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Bearstone. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

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

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath resealing in Bearstone?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
