How we handle bath resealing in Micklebring

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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.

When to call us in Micklebring

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Micklebring

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Micklebring.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
