Bath resealing in Frisby on the Wreake

Bath resealing in Frisby on the Wreake, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in Frisby on the Wreake

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Frisby on the Wreake

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to Frisby on the Wreake?

We do. Technicians travel to Frisby on the Wreake from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What affects the price in Frisby on the Wreake

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Frisby on the Wreake. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
