Bath resealing near Churchinford

About our bath resealing in Churchinford

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Churchinford

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Churchinford contact us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, 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.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
