Bath resealing for Grove Hill homes

About our bath resealing in Grove Hill

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Grove Hill

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK

Grove Hill: your questions answered

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Grove Hill

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
