Bath resealing near Mawsley Village

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Bath resealing in Mawsley Village without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mawsley Village

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mawsley Village use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Mawsley Village questions

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When to call us in Mawsley Village

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
