How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Wolstanton

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and unsealed corners.

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

What we cannot put right

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wolstanton

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Wolstanton

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wolstanton

Do you come to Wolstanton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wolstanton and the rest of Staffordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you need bath resealing in Wolstanton?

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
