Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price bath resealing

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Resealing in Backnoe End: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Do you need bath resealing in Backnoe End?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
