Bath resealing at your home in Silecroft

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Silecroft

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Use 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.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Silecroft

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Silecroft

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silecroft as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Resealing in Silecroft: why it matters
