Resealing in Bridge: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

When to call us in Bridge

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Bridge

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Bridge: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
