Bath resealing in Podimore, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Podimore questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does someone need to be in?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
