Bath resealing in Horse Dale

Bath resealing in Horse Dale 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 many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Horse Dale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Horse Dale

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Common problems we fix in Horse Dale

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

FAQs for Horse Dale

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
