Bath resealing in Bishop's Green

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Bath resealing in Bishop's Green without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Do you need bath resealing in Bishop's Green?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Bishop's Green

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. 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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
