Bath resealing for Brea homes

Bath resealing in Brea without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Brea

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

Why it’s worth resealing in Brea

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Brea

We do not charge extra for travel to Brea. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brea

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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