Bath resealing for Chorleywood West homes

About our bath resealing in Chorleywood West

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Chorleywood West

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Chorleywood West

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in Chorleywood West?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chorleywood West. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chorleywood West. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
