Bath resealing in Brantham, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brantham as everywhere else we work.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Common questions in Brantham

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO11 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you come to Brantham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Brantham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Common problems we fix in Brantham

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Brantham

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
