Bath resealing at your home in Briggswath

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, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Briggswath

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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 reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Briggswath questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
