Bath resealing in Chalton

How we handle bath resealing in Chalton

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Chalton questions

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Chalton?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Landlord and trade work in Chalton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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 Chalton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need bath resealing in Chalton?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
