Bath resealing for Tenbury Wells homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath resealing in Tenbury Wells, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tenbury Wells and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tenbury Wells

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Tenbury Wells: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Tenbury Wells

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Tenbury Wells: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tenbury Wells. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
