Bath resealing in Castle Hill

About our bath resealing in Castle Hill

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Hill

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Castle Hill: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you need bath resealing in Castle Hill?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

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

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

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

Before we arrive

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