About our bath resealing in Brackenborough

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Brackenborough: your questions answered

What happens next?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Signs you need bath resealing in Brackenborough

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Resealing in Brackenborough: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • No need to remove anything

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brackenborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Brackenborough, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Brackenborough, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Brackenborough
