Bath resealing in Castletown, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castletown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
