Bath resealing near Bradbourne

Bath resealing at your home in Bradbourne

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bradbourne as everywhere else we work.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Materials we work on in Bradbourne

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bradbourne

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Bradbourne

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Landlord and trade work in Bradbourne

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradbourne as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
