Bath resealing in Adstock, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Adstock

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Adstock

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Adstock and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Adstock

Are there extra charges for Adstock?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Adstock and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Adstock clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our pricing.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
