Bath resealing in Wilcott

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we handle bath resealing in Wilcott

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

When to call us in Wilcott

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Wilcott

  • Basins & vanity units

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilcott

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Wilcott

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
