Trusted bath resealing in Pettaugh

Bath resealing in Pettaugh, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

When to call us in Pettaugh

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pettaugh

When can you do it?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Pettaugh?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pettaugh. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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