About our bath resealing in Yarwell

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath resealing in Yarwell?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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