About our bath resealing in Georgetown

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Georgetown

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

What we are called out for in Georgetown

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Georgetown: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about bath resealing in Georgetown

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Georgetown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
