Bath resealing at your home in Combe Pafford

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Common problems we fix in Combe Pafford

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about bath resealing in Combe Pafford

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Combe Pafford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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