A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Grizebeck

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you cover Grizebeck?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grizebeck and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How much does bath resealing cost in Grizebeck?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Resealing in Grizebeck: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grizebeck

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grizebeck use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

When to call us in Grizebeck

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
