Bath resealing in Birdwell

Bath resealing in Birdwell without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Birdwell

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When to call us in Birdwell

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

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 a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
