Bath resealing for Rennington homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Bath resealing in Rennington without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath resealing in Rennington

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain 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. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Rennington

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rennington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. 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 Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Rennington

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

What a repair can’t fix

We would 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
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
