Bath resealing for St Monance homes

St Monance questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in St Monance?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

About our bath resealing in St Monance

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in St Monance

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
