About our bath resealing in East Hatley

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and gaps in the seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

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

Common problems we fix in East Hatley

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in East Hatley

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for East Hatley

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
