Bath resealing near Chawley

Common problems we fix in Chawley

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure

How we handle bath resealing in Chawley

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chawley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Resealing in Chawley: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price
