Bath resealing in Datchet

How we handle bath resealing in Datchet

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Datchet

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Datchet?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Datchet

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Datchet questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you work in Datchet?

We do. Technicians travel to Datchet from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
