Bath resealing for Knowbury homes

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Knowbury, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Knowbury and across Shropshire.

Resealing in Knowbury: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knowbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

When to call us in Knowbury

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Knowbury questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Landlord and trade work in Knowbury

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

The process

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 job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
