Bath resealing in Ruardean Hill, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Ruardean Hill

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Ruardean Hill?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Common reasons people in Ruardean Hill contact us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
