Book bath resealing in Bickingcott

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing in Bickingcott without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and leaks at the edges.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Bickingcott?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth resealing in Bickingcott

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

FAQs for Bickingcott

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Bickingcott and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
