Bath resealing in Forestdale

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath resealing at your home in Forestdale

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Forestdale

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Forestdale, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Do you need bath resealing in Forestdale?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
