Bath resealing in Freshford

How we handle bath resealing in Freshford

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. 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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Freshford

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Your questions about bath resealing in Freshford

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Freshford?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
