Bath resealing for Roade homes

Bath resealing at your home in Roade

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Roade: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you come to Roade?

We do. Technicians travel to Roade from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
