Bath resealing for Pittendreich homes

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Bath resealing at your home in Pittendreich

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Pittendreich and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Pittendreich

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Unsealed corners

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Pittendreich, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Pittendreich. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pittendreich

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much does bath resealing cost in Pittendreich?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IV30 postcode.

How long before I can shower?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
