Bath resealing in Lower Sundon, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s stained silicone and damp near the bath, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Sundon

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Sundon

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LU3 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Lower Sundon. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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 happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Lower Sundon

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Sundon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath resealing in Lower Sundon?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
