Bath resealing in Willoughton

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing in Willoughton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and unsealed corners.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Willoughton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Do you need bath resealing in Willoughton?

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

Willoughton questions

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Willoughton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
