Bath resealing in Cinderhill

Bath resealing in Cinderhill without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cinderhill as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Cinderhill. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Cinderhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How it works

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 cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cinderhill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Cinderhill

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
