Bath resealing near Cullivoe

Bath resealing in Cullivoe, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cullivoe

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we are called out for in Cullivoe

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Cullivoe

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

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

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
