Bath resealing for Sileby homes

Bath resealing in Sileby, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Sileby

There’s no charge for travel to Sileby. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Sileby

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Sileby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sileby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sileby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Repairs by material

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.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

When to call us in Sileby

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
