Bath resealing in Fawdon

Bath resealing at your home in Fawdon

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Fawdon. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about bath resealing in Fawdon

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Landlord and trade work in Fawdon

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Signs you need bath resealing in Fawdon

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
