Bath resealing near Shirebrook

Common problems we fix in Shirebrook

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shirebrook use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shirebrook

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Shirebrook customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

  • Basins & vanity units

Common questions in Shirebrook

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover Shirebrook?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Shirebrook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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