Bath resealing near Idlicote

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Bath resealing at your home in Idlicote

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Common problems we fix in Idlicote

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Idlicote

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

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.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Idlicote. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not 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.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. 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.
