Bath resealing for Leigh homes

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we handle bath resealing in Leigh

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Leigh

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

  • Baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leigh

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 Leigh

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Leigh: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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