About our bath resealing in Roddymoor

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Roddymoor

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Resealing in Roddymoor: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Questions from Roddymoor

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roddymoor

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
