Common reasons people in Barravullin contact us are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Barravullin: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Barravullin included. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
