Bath resealing in Raddington

How we handle bath resealing in Raddington

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Raddington

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Raddington

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Raddington included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you work in Raddington?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Raddington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When to call us in Raddington

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
