Bath resealing for Brigham homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

About our bath resealing in Brigham

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

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

FAQs for Brigham

Will it make a mess?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Brigham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Brigham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brigham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
