Trusted bath resealing in Burrells

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we cannot put right

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Burrells

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burrells. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Do you need bath resealing in Burrells?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Common questions in Burrells

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Burrells, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
