Signs you need bath resealing in Roecliffe

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing at your home in Roecliffe

We cut out all of the old sealant, 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. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, 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.

Roecliffe questions

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long will it take?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
