Bath resealing in Old Basford without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need bath resealing in Old Basford?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

Old Basford questions

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottingham.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
