Bath resealing for Juniper Green homes

Bath resealing in Juniper Green, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Juniper Green

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Juniper Green

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
