Bath resealing for Mangrove Green homes

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing in Mangrove Green, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Questions from Mangrove Green

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Mangrove Green.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in Mangrove Green

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
