Book bath resealing in Martin

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

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

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

Bath resealing in Martin, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.

  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Martin

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Common reasons people in Martin contact us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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