Bath resealing near Terregles

Bath resealing in Terregles without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Terregles

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Terregles.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

If you manage property in Terregles, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

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