Bath resealing at your home in Glithno

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Glithno

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Glithno contact us include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
