Bath resealing near Billingsley

Bath resealing at your home in Billingsley

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re frequently asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Billingsley questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WV16 postcode.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

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.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Billingsley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
