How we handle bath resealing in Overthorpe

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Overthorpe

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Overthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Overthorpe, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Do you need bath resealing in Overthorpe?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Overthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
