Bath resealing in Lower Horsebridge

About our bath resealing in Lower Horsebridge

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Lower Horsebridge

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lower Horsebridge?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How long does resealing take?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Landlord and trade work in Lower Horsebridge

If you manage property in Lower Horsebridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
