Bath resealing for Monkton homes

Resealing in Monkton: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath resealing in Monkton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Monkton questions

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Monkton

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
