Bathroom resealing in Broad Oak

For landlords and businesses

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.

Bathroom resealing in Broad Oak, done properly

Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and we will give you a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Broad Oak. If you are dealing with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, we can help.

Somewhere as small as Broad Oak, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting

Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

What happens on the day

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Broad Oak, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Honest limits

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Where we work in Broad Oak

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Sinks & splashbacks

DIY versus a professional finish

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Bathroom resealing in Broad Oak: local notes

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Managing a site like Broad Oak Community Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Ebenezer Chapel, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Broad Oak

Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • Water getting behind the bath panel

Letting a property close to Stonegate station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
