Bath resealing for Upper Tean homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Bath resealing in Upper Tean, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Upper Tean

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does resealing take?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
