About our bath resealing in Flaxton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Flaxton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Flaxton?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
