What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

About our bath resealing in Bulmer

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bulmer. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Bulmer

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
