Bath resealing near Egremont

How to care for the repair

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

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we handle bath resealing in Egremont

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Egremont

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

Why it’s worth resealing in Egremont

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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