Bath resealing in Orton, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Orton questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Orton?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common problems we fix in Orton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Orton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
