Bath resealing near Bucknell

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our bath resealing in Bucknell

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Do you need bath resealing in Bucknell?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Bucknell

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Bucknell

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bucknell?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SY7 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add 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.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
