Bath resealing for Billingbear homes

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Billingbear without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, we can generally put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Once we are 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 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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Billingbear: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Billingbear and the rest of Bracknell Forest. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What affects the price in Billingbear

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Common problems we fix in Billingbear

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Billingbear: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
