Bath resealing in Penhale Jakes

Bath resealing in Penhale Jakes without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Do you need bath resealing in Penhale Jakes?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Penhale Jakes. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Penhale Jakes customers choose us

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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