Bath resealing near Machroes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle bath resealing in Machroes

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Machroes: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does bath resealing cost in Machroes?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Machroes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What we can’t put right

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Why it’s worth resealing in Machroes

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need bath resealing in Machroes?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out
