Bath resealing for Maidenhall Estate homes

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Bath resealing in Maidenhall Estate, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common problems we fix in Maidenhall Estate

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone

Your questions about bath resealing in Maidenhall Estate

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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