Bath resealing at your home in Boylestone

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Boylestone

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Look out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
