Bath resealing near Woodgate

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Bath resealing at your home in Woodgate

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Woodgate

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Woodgate.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Woodgate included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What we are called out for in Woodgate

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
