Bath resealing in Upper Gravenhurst without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Upper Gravenhurst

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Upper Gravenhurst

Upper Gravenhurst questions

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Are you accredited?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you work in Upper Gravenhurst?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upper Gravenhurst for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
