Bath resealing near Stanley

How we handle bath resealing in Stanley

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stanley and across Gloucestershire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Stanley

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

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

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our pricing.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Stanley. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Questions from Stanley

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?

The entire UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it messy?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
