Bath resealing in Ladmanlow, 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 regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ladmanlow

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Your questions about bath resealing in Ladmanlow

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When to call us in Ladmanlow

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t 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’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
