Bath resealing in Bishop's Hull, done in place

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. We are often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Bishop's Hull questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bishop's Hull?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop's Hull

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Bishop's Hull

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Resealing in Bishop's Hull: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
