Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Bath resealing in Skeyton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about bath resealing in Skeyton

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Resealing in Skeyton: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
