Bath resealing near Gaston Green

Bath resealing in Gaston Green without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gaston Green

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Why it’s worth resealing in Gaston Green

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
