Bath resealing near Springthorpe

Bath resealing at your home in Springthorpe

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need bath resealing in Springthorpe

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
