Bath resealing in Keresley, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Keresley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Keresley

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Keresley questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
