Bath resealing at your home in Northbourne

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth resealing in Northbourne

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

Northbourne questions

Are there extra charges for Northbourne?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Northbourne. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you need bath resealing in Northbourne?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
