Bath resealing near Tattershall

How we handle bath resealing in Tattershall

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tattershall as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to care for the repair

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

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Signs you need bath resealing in Tattershall

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

10 questions to ask before booking

Tattershall questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Tattershall?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LN4 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
