Bath resealing in Little Bourton

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

About our bath resealing in Little Bourton

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Do you need bath resealing in Little Bourton?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Aftercare tips

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Little Bourton

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Little Bourton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
