Trusted bath resealing in Washwood Heath

Bath resealing in Washwood Heath, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Washwood Heath: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Your questions about bath resealing in Washwood Heath

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Washwood Heath

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
