Why it’s worth resealing in Balsham

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our full price list.

Bath resealing in Balsham without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Balsham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Balsham

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you work in Balsham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Balsham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
