Bath resealing in Tanlan without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

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

Questions from Tanlan

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you cover Tanlan?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What we are called out for in Tanlan

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
