Bath resealing for Wittensford homes

Bath resealing at your home in Wittensford

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wittensford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Common problems we fix in Wittensford

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Wittensford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Wittensford questions

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How much does bath resealing cost in Wittensford?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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