Bath resealing in Old Windsor

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

About our bath resealing in Old Windsor

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

When to call us in Old Windsor

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Old Windsor

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Old Windsor: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
