What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Signs you need bath resealing in Benslow

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Benslow

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Benslow?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benslow use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

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

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
