Bath resealing for Berkeley homes

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Berkeley, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Berkeley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Berkeley. The price reflects:

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

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

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 price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath resealing in Berkeley

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Berkeley questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you come to Berkeley?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Berkeley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
