Bath resealing in East Leake, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Sinks and worktops

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in East Leake

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for East Leake. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

When to call us in East Leake

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

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