Bath resealing near Medomsley

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath resealing in Medomsley, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

When to call us in Medomsley

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Common questions in Medomsley

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Medomsley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
