Bath resealing for Puckeridge homes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Bath resealing in Puckeridge without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in Puckeridge

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Puckeridge

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why it’s worth resealing in Puckeridge

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Puckeridge

Do you come to Puckeridge?

We do. Technicians travel to Puckeridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
