How we handle bath resealing in Drayton St Leonard

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Drayton St Leonard as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  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, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath resealing in Drayton St Leonard

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

When to call us in Drayton St Leonard

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day

Resealing in Drayton St Leonard: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
