Trusted bath resealing in Wootten Green

Bath resealing in Wootten Green, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Wootten Green. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Wootten Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Wootten Green: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Wootten Green

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
