Bath resealing in Larbreck, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Larbreck. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Larbreck

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Larbreck included. Travel is included in the price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
