Bath resealing in Bridgefoot, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Questions from Bridgefoot

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Bridgefoot

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Bridgefoot. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

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