Bath resealing for Stonehouse homes

How we handle bath resealing in Stonehouse

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, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

FAQs for Stonehouse

Is it messy?

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

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We cover the entire UK, including Stonehouse and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you come to Stonehouse?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stonehouse for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stonehouse

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
