Bath resealing near Boghead

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing at your home in Boghead

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Boghead customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  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. 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
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Boghead

What happens next?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Common problems we fix in Boghead

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
