About our bath resealing in Grindle

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grindle as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Grindle

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When to call us in Grindle

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
