How we handle bath resealing in Catmore

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Signs you need bath resealing in Catmore

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What affects the price in Catmore

We don’t charge extra for travel to Catmore. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Catmore and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Catmore

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you cover Catmore?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Catmore and the rest of West Berkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
