How we handle bath resealing in Settlingstones

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Settlingstones

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material

What it costs 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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Settlingstones, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Do you need bath resealing in Settlingstones?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Resealing in Settlingstones: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Settlingstones: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
