Bath resealing in Shirley

Bath resealing at your home in Shirley

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Shirley

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Shirley questions

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Shirley and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Shirley

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
