Bath resealing in Spittal, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Spittal

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Spittal

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How much does bath resealing cost in Spittal?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
