About our bath resealing in Bathford

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

When to call us in Bathford

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Bathford. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Bathford

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
