Bath resealing in Grafty Green

How to look after the repair

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

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we handle bath resealing in Grafty Green

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need bath resealing in Grafty Green?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Grafty Green

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Common questions in Grafty Green

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Grafty Green?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
