Bath resealing at your home in Borden

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Borden questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  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, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What we’re called out for in Borden

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
