When to call us in East Shefford

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

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing at your home in East Shefford

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

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, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Your questions about bath resealing in East Shefford

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can you do it?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you cover the entire of West Berkshire?

All of West Berkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in East Shefford?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you come to East Shefford?

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

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
