Bath resealing near Pillowell

About our bath resealing in Pillowell

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

When to call us in Pillowell

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pillowell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Your questions about bath resealing in Pillowell

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for Pillowell?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
