Bath Resealing in Backford Cross
Bath resealing in and around Backford Cross: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing in Backford Cross without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Resealing in Backford Cross: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Your questions about bath resealing in Backford Cross
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Backford Cross?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are there extra charges for Backford Cross?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
