Bath resealing near Bradwell

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our bath resealing in Bradwell

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bradwell

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What areas do you cover?

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Do you work in Bradwell?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bradwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bradwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Bradwell, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Bradwell

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
