The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

How we handle bath resealing in Wath

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Wath?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Look out for these signs:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wath use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Wath

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Wath?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
