Bath resealing in Nocton

Resealing in Nocton: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we handle bath resealing in Nocton

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can help.

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

Nocton questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Nocton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Nocton.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

How to care for the repair

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

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Signs you need bath resealing in Nocton

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
