About our bath resealing in Pitney

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Pitney

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Pitney

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Pitney. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we’re called out for in Pitney

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal

Comparing quotes

  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
