Bath resealing in Bratton Fleming without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and gaps in the seal.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bratton Fleming

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Honest limits

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Bratton Fleming

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Bratton Fleming. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bratton Fleming questions

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
