Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Brading: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you cover Brading?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Brading for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Brading. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brading

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we are called out for in Brading

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

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
