Trusted bath resealing in Syerston

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

How we handle bath resealing in Syerston

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from Syerston

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Syerston?

We do. Technicians travel to Syerston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
