Bath resealing in Battram

About our bath resealing in Battram

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Resealing in Battram: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Battram questions

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Battram

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Battram get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Materials we work on in Battram

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
