Do you need bath resealing in Sellindge?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

How we handle bath resealing in Sellindge

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Sellindge

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Sellindge included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sellindge.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Landlord and trade work in Sellindge

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sellindge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
