Bath resealing near Wellbank

How we handle bath resealing in Wellbank

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about bath resealing in Wellbank

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Dundee. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Wellbank. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Wellbank

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
