Trusted bath resealing in Stubbles

How we handle bath resealing in Stubbles

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Stubbles

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Common reasons people in Stubbles contact us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Your questions about bath resealing in Stubbles

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Stubbles?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Stubbles is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Resealing in Stubbles: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
