Bath resealing for South Reston homes

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Bath resealing in South Reston 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. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in South Reston

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

FAQs for South Reston

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
