Bath resealing near Oreston

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

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

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Oreston, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Oreston and across Plymouth.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oreston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Oreston questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you need bath resealing in Oreston?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

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

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Oreston

  • Baths

Why reseal now?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.
