Is resealing worth it?

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Blacker Hill

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Blacker Hill

Do you work in Blacker Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Blacker Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Blacker Hill?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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