Bath resealing in Grimsthorpe, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grimsthorpe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimsthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Grimsthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Grimsthorpe

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Grimsthorpe. Prices do not change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need bath resealing in Grimsthorpe?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
