About our bath resealing in Simister

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Resealing in Simister: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

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

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

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

Materials we work on in Simister

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Simister

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you cover Simister?

We do. We send a technician to Simister for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
