Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Istead Rise questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in Istead Rise?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Istead Rise

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
