Bath resealing for Midgham homes

Bath resealing in Midgham, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Midgham?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

FAQs for Midgham

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work in Midgham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Midgham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Midgham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, 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 a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
