Bath resealing in Arnold

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath resealing in Arnold, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Arnold questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How long does resealing take?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Arnold?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NG5 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Arnold, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Arnold

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops
