Bath resealing in Carrickfergus

Bath resealing in Carrickfergus without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Carrickfergus

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Carrickfergus, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need bath resealing in Carrickfergus

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Carrickfergus, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Carrickfergus questions

Do you cover the whole of Carrickfergus?

All of Carrickfergus, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, 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

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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