Bath resealing in Bonning Gate without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bonning Gate use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bonning Gate

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Repairs by material

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
