How we handle bath resealing in Lower Horncroft

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lower Horncroft and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common problems we fix in Lower Horncroft

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Horncroft

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Horncroft use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Lower Horncroft: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Lower Horncroft. Prices do not change with location.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
