Bath resealing in Deans

Bath resealing in Deans without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, 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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we are called out for in Deans

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
