About our bath resealing in Leicester Forest West

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Leicester Forest West

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leicester Forest West use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
