Bath resealing in Mace Green

Bath resealing in Mace Green without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: 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. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mace Green as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mace Green

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common questions in Mace Green

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do you work in Mace Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mace Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Mace Green

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What affects the price in Mace Green

There is no charge for travel to Mace Green. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

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, to open the joint fully.
