Bath resealing in Shawford without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawford

For anyone letting property in or around Shawford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath resealing in Shawford?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
