Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

About our bath resealing in Coylumbridge

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Questions from Coylumbridge

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long will it take?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need bath resealing in Coylumbridge

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Coylumbridge. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
