How we handle bath resealing in Rawthorpe

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Rawthorpe?

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

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

Resealing in Rawthorpe: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Rawthorpe customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
