How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Bath resealing in Benwick, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath resealing in Benwick?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Resealing in Benwick: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Benwick

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does resealing take?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Benwick

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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