Trusted bath resealing in Spike Island

Bath resealing in Spike Island, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spike Island

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Spike Island

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Spike Island

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Spike Island

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
