Bath resealing in Rivar

About our bath resealing in Rivar

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need bath resealing in Rivar

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Rivar

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What affects the price in Rivar

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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