Bath resealing in Babylon, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Babylon: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CH4 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Babylon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Babylon

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Babylon

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Babylon as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Signs you need bath resealing in Babylon

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
