Bath resealing in Illidge Green

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Illidge Green without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Illidge Green

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

Your questions about bath resealing in Illidge Green

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Illidge Green?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
