Trusted bath resealing in Bowbrook

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Bowbrook

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bowbrook and across Shropshire.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bowbrook

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Bowbrook

There’s no charge for travel to Bowbrook. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bowbrook

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
