Bath resealing for Basford homes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Bath resealing in Basford, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Basford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Basford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need bath resealing in Basford?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
