Bath resealing near Booker

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Bath resealing at your home in Booker

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath resealing in Booker?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Booker questions

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Do you cover Booker?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Booker and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Booker use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
