Bath resealing for Parnwell homes

How we handle bath resealing in Parnwell

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat 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. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Parnwell and across Lincolnshire.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Baths

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

Resealing in Parnwell: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

What affects the price in Parnwell

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Parnwell

Do you cover Parnwell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Parnwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What we’re called out for in Parnwell

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
