Bath resealing for Danesmoor homes

Bath resealing in Danesmoor without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Danesmoor

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Danesmoor use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

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

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Danesmoor

We do not charge extra for travel to Danesmoor. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S45 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Danesmoor

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
