Bath resealing for Longdon homes

Bath resealing in Longdon, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need bath resealing in Longdon

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Longdon questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How long does a reseal take?

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

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Longdon

We do not charge extra for travel to Longdon. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Longdon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Longdon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
