Trusted bath resealing in Bill Quay

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Bill Quay. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Bill Quay

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
