Trusted bath resealing in Langworthy

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

About our bath resealing in Langworthy

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Langworthy as everywhere else we work.

Langworthy: your questions answered

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Langworthy included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need bath resealing in Langworthy

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
