Bath resealing in Garden Village

About our bath resealing in Garden Village

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Garden Village

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garden Village

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often 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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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