How we handle bath resealing in Bracewell

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Bracewell questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bracewell?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • 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, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Bracewell

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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