Bath resealing for Bailey's Hard homes

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Bailey's Hard

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bailey's Hard questions

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Bailey's Hard?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bailey's Hard from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bailey's Hard use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
