Bath resealing near Bolingey

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 usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

About our bath resealing in Bolingey

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need bath resealing in Bolingey?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Bolingey clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in Bolingey

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bolingey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Bolingey questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
