Bath resealing at your home in Bodella

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Bodella, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our pricing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Bodella. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Bodella

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

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

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

Bodella questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
