Bath resealing for Old Gore homes

Bath resealing in Old Gore without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Gore and across Herefordshire.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Old Gore

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you come to Old Gore?

We do. We send a technician to Old Gore for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Old Gore?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
