Bath resealing near Henley Street

Why it’s worth resealing in Henley Street

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Do you need bath resealing in Henley Street?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
