Bath resealing in Locks Heath, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Locks Heath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy 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 photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need bath resealing in Locks Heath

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Locks Heath

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

We do not 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

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Locks Heath, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Locks Heath

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
