Trusted bath resealing in Selston

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Bath resealing in Selston without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Selston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Selston: your questions answered

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are there extra charges for Selston?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
