Bath resealing near Etherdwick

Questions from Etherdwick

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long does resealing take?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens after I send photos?

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

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How we handle bath resealing in Etherdwick

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and an untidy old seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Etherdwick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Etherdwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
