Bath resealing near Ossington

Bath resealing at your home in Ossington

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Questions from Ossington

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Ossington

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Ossington

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Ossington. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
