Bath resealing for Leverburgh homes

How we handle bath resealing in Leverburgh

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Leverburgh

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
