Bath resealing near Stathern

Bath resealing at your home in Stathern

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Stathern questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Do you cover Stathern?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stathern and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stathern

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Stathern

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
