Bath resealing for Mile Oak homes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle bath resealing in Mile Oak

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mile Oak as everywhere else we work.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we are called out for in Mile Oak

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
