Bath resealing for Maylandsea homes

FAQs for Maylandsea

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM3 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Bath resealing in Maylandsea without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Maylandsea and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Maylandsea, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Maylandsea

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
