Bath resealing near Egerton

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing at your home in Egerton

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Egerton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Egerton: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Egerton?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
