Bath resealing in Southrey

Bath resealing in Southrey, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southrey as everywhere else we work.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Southrey?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Common questions in Southrey

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why it’s worth resealing in Southrey

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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 protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

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

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. 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, and the work is guaranteed.
