What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
We dry the joint thoroughly.
We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

How many items we do on one visit
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The material and finish
How much damage there is

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

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

What it’s made of, if you know
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Aldersbrook, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Common questions in Aldersbrook

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan
Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
