Bath resealing near Horsebrook

About our bath resealing in Horsebrook

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

When to call us in Horsebrook

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Horsebrook: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Horsebrook included. Travel is included in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Horsebrook?

We do. We send a technician to Horsebrook for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Horsebrook

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
