Bath resealing in Lower Green Bank

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Lower Green Bank

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you come to Lower Green Bank?

We do. Technicians travel to Lower Green Bank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in Lower Green Bank

If you manage property in Lower Green Bank, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Green Bank as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Lower Green Bank

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
