Bath resealing near Bent Gate

Bath resealing at your home in Bent Gate

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Bent Gate?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our full price list.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bent Gate

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

Common questions in Bent Gate

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
