Bath resealing in Beckermet without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

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

How to look after the repair

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

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Beckermet

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Beckermet

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beckermet as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Beckermet. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
