When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Prees Wood without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Signs you need bath resealing in Prees Wood

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

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