Bath resealing near Coronation

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Coronation

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Bath resealing at your home in Coronation

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Coronation?

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Coronation

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

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.

Baths

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Coronation: why it matters
