Bath resealing at your home in Bishopswood

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Resealing in Bishopswood: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Bishopswood clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about bath resealing in Bishopswood

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Common problems we fix in Bishopswood

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book
