Bath resealing in Waterside

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in Waterside

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Waterside

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 will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Waterside?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Waterside. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Waterside. Prices do not change with location.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  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
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Resealing in Waterside: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Waterside customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing.

When to call us in Waterside

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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