Bath resealing in Bolham

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Bath resealing in Bolham without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and gaps by the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Questions from Bolham

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Bolham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

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

Are there extra charges for Bolham?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Bolham

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

Landlord and trade work in Bolham

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we are called out for in Bolham

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
