How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

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

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 Welney

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Do you need bath resealing in Welney?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Welney

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
