Bath resealing near Sulby

Bath resealing in Sulby, 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 basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Sulby: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Sulby: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Sulby

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

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.

Common problems we fix in Sulby

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
