Bath resealing in Braunston-in-Rutland without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Braunston-in-Rutland and across Rutland.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Braunston-in-Rutland

There’s no area surcharge for Braunston-in-Rutland. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Braunston-in-Rutland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

FAQs for Braunston-in-Rutland

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are there extra charges for Braunston-in-Rutland?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What we’re called out for in Braunston-in-Rutland

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Braunston-in-Rutland

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Resealing in Braunston-in-Rutland: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.
