Bath resealing in Boughton Corner, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Boughton Corner

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Most customers in Boughton Corner get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Boughton Corner

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Boughton Corner

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

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

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

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