Bath resealing in Bilsby without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bilsby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bilsby

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bilsby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Signs you need bath resealing in Bilsby

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Bilsby

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
