Bath resealing near East Buckland

How we handle bath resealing in East Buckland

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Resealing in East Buckland: why it matters

What we’re called out for in East Buckland

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Buckland

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

East Buckland questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What do you need from me?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you cover East Buckland?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Buckland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
