Bath resealing for Snaith homes

How we handle bath resealing in Snaith

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Snaith

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why it’s worth resealing in Snaith

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Snaith: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Snaith, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
