Bath resealing for Stretton homes

How we handle bath resealing in Stretton

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Questions from Stretton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Stretton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Stretton?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Stretton: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
