Bath resealing at your home in Tattershall Thorpe

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

When to call us in Tattershall Thorpe

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Tattershall Thorpe

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
