Common problems we fix in Sunderland Bridge

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sunderland Bridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Sunderland Bridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?

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 will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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