Bath resealing for Box homes

About our bath resealing in Box

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Box questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Box?

We do. Technicians travel to Box from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Box

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Box, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair
