Bath resealing for Castle Gresley homes

How we handle bath resealing in Castle Gresley

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Gresley

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Castle Gresley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Castle Gresley questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How much does bath resealing cost in Castle Gresley?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
