How we handle bath resealing in Bulk

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Bulk customers choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Bulk, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bulk, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
