Trusted bath resealing in Scotton

About our bath resealing in Scotton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms alike.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Scotton

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Scotton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
