Bath resealing for New Boston homes

About our bath resealing in New Boston

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in New Boston, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

New Boston: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Boston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
