About our bath resealing in Four Oaks

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Four Oaks

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Four Oaks?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.

  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 usually the cheaper route.

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, for the same reason.
