Bath resealing for Pightley homes

Bath resealing in Pightley without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath resealing in Pightley?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in Pightley contact us are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pightley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pightley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Pightley

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pightley.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
