Bath resealing for Benthall homes

Bath resealing in Benthall without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benthall

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benthall as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Benthall: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Benthall and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Signs you need bath resealing in Benthall

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
