Need bath resealing in Northover?

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing at your home in Northover

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Northover

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we’re called out for in Northover

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
