Bath resealing in Bottoms

About our bath resealing in Bottoms

All of the old sealant is cut out, 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’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Bottoms

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bottoms: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bottoms.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Bottoms. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work in Bottoms?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bottoms and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

When to call us in Bottoms

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

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
