Bath resealing for Cellarhead homes

About our bath resealing in Cellarhead

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 work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Cellarhead

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How long will it take?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

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

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

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

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

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cellarhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ST9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Cellarhead

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

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

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Why it’s worth resealing in Cellarhead

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
