Bath resealing in Slapton

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Slapton

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Slapton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Slapton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Resealing in Slapton: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Slapton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northamptonshire.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
