Bath resealing in Upper Brailes

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing in Upper Brailes, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Do you need bath resealing in Upper Brailes?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you can’t clean out

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Upper Brailes

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Brailes

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
