Bath resealing for Bickleigh homes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Bath resealing in Bickleigh, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bickleigh and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Bickleigh

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work in Bickleigh?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bickleigh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
