Bath resealing for Speedwell homes

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

About our bath resealing in Speedwell

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s damp near the bath and stained silicone, we can typically put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Speedwell

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Common problems we fix in Speedwell

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day

Landlord and trade work in Speedwell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Speedwell

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
