How we handle bath resealing in Gaddesby

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Gaddesby

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Gaddesby

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Gaddesby. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gaddesby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

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