Need bath resealing in Atterby?

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath resealing at your home in Atterby

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we are called out for in Atterby

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Atterby clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Atterby. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Atterby

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
