About our bath resealing in Pooley Bridge

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Resealing in Pooley Bridge: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Pooley Bridge customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Pooley Bridge

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What affects the price in Pooley Bridge

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

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Can tenants book a repair?

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

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
