Bath resealing in Stoke Prior

How we handle bath resealing in Stoke Prior

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What we’re called out for in Stoke Prior

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Stoke Prior contact us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common questions in Stoke Prior

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HR6 postcode.
