Bath resealing in Leigh Woods

Bath resealing in Leigh Woods, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
