Bath resealing in Bircotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t 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.

Bath resealing in Bircotes without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal.

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Bircotes

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Bircotes. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bircotes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Bircotes

Bircotes: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bircotes

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

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

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
