Bath resealing in Bucklerheads

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK

Bath resealing in Bucklerheads, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Bucklerheads. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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