Bath resealing in Pool Bank

How we handle bath resealing in Pool Bank

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, in wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Pool Bank

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Pool Bank get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about bath resealing in Pool Bank

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
