Trusted bath resealing in Legar

Bath resealing in Legar without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Legar

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.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Legar

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is it messy?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Resealing in Legar: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Legar

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

What affects the price in Legar

There’s no charge for travel to Legar. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
