Trusted bath resealing in Stonehouse

Bath resealing in Stonehouse, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Stonehouse

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Questions from Stonehouse

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Stonehouse. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
