Why it’s worth resealing in Barby

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Barby. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Barby, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from Barby

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
