Bath resealing for Gunness homes

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we handle bath resealing in Gunness

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s stained silicone and an untidy old seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gunness. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Gunness

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

  • What aftercare is recommended

FAQs for Gunness

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will it make a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
