Bath resealing for Stinsford homes

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Bath resealing in Stinsford without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For anyone letting property in or around Stinsford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Stinsford. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Stinsford

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you work in Stinsford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stinsford and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
