Trusted bath resealing in Powfoot

Bath resealing in Powfoot, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Powfoot

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Powfoot use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Baths

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