Bath resealing in Helmdon without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, 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. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Helmdon

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Helmdon?

We do. We send a technician to Helmdon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t 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.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
