Bath resealing for Park Gate homes

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Park Gate, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Park Gate: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

When can you do it?

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

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
