Bath resealing in Branthwaite

About our bath resealing in Branthwaite

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Branthwaite

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Branthwaite

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Branthwaite included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Branthwaite.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Branthwaite

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Branthwaite

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Branthwaite customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
