Bath resealing in Marlesford

Bath resealing in Marlesford, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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