Bath resealing near Old Somerby

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Old Somerby

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and stained silicone.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

The process

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

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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