How we handle bath resealing in Waterfall

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Do you need bath resealing in Waterfall?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Waterfall

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does resealing take?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Waterfall

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Waterfall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Waterfall. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
