When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Bath resealing at your home in Bimbister
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bimbister use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
When to call us in Bimbister
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Questions from Bimbister
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Do you work in Bimbister?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bimbister. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Resealing in Bimbister: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
