Bath resealing in Brearton

How we handle bath resealing in Brearton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When to call us in Brearton

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for these signs:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Questions from Brearton

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
