Bath resealing in Silverdale

Do you need bath resealing in Silverdale?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath resealing in Silverdale without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Landlord and trade work in Silverdale

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Silverdale, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

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