Trusted bath resealing in Old Sontley

Bath resealing in Old Sontley, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Resealing in Old Sontley: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
