Bath resealing near Paradise

Bath resealing at your home in Paradise

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Paradise as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When to call us in Paradise

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Paradise: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Paradise?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Paradise from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most customers in Paradise get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
