Trusted bath resealing in Wrentham

Bath resealing in Wrentham, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, in baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Wrentham: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you come to Wrentham?

We do. We send a technician to Wrentham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Wrentham

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Wrentham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
