Bath resealing near Orby

What we’re called out for in Orby

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

Bath resealing at your home in Orby

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Orby questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you work in Orby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Orby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Landlord and trade work in Orby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
