Trusted bath resealing in Nutwalls

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we handle bath resealing in Nutwalls

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Do you need bath resealing in Nutwalls?

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

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Nutwalls

We charge the same across the UK, including Nutwalls. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nutwalls

If you manage property in Nutwalls, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
