Bath resealing for Wallacestone homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath resealing at your home in Wallacestone

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Wallacestone

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Do you need bath resealing in Wallacestone?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Wallacestone contact us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Wallacestone

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Wallacestone questions

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you work in Wallacestone?

We do. We send a technician to Wallacestone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

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

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
