How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in Colegate End, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and stained silicone, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Colegate End?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Colegate End customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Colegate End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Colegate End

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
