Bath resealing near Criggion

Bath resealing at your home in Criggion

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Criggion

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Criggion questions

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Criggion

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Criggion use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Why it’s worth resealing in Criggion

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

When to call us in Criggion

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
