Bath resealing for Wycomb homes

Bath resealing in Wycomb without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wycomb and across Leicestershire.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Wycomb

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long will it take?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Do you work in Wycomb?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wycomb from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlord and trade work in Wycomb

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wycomb as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

10 questions to ask before you book

Resealing in Wycomb: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
