Bath resealing for Berwick St John homes

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Bath resealing at your home in Berwick St John

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Berwick St John: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Berwick St John

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

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 pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
