About our bath resealing in Lockleaze

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lockleaze as everywhere else we work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lockleaze

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Lockleaze, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lockleaze as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
