Bath resealing in Puncknowle

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Puncknowle without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Puncknowle

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Puncknowle contact us are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Puncknowle

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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