How we handle bath resealing in Stowford

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about bath resealing in Stowford

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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