Bath resealing for Little Maplestead homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Bath resealing in Little Maplestead without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Little Maplestead

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
