Bath resealing near Connel

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Bath resealing in Connel, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Connel

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Resealing in Connel: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Connel. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Connel clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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 typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

When to call us in Connel

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
