Bath resealing in Great Wratting, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Great Wratting

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Resealing in Great Wratting: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
