Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Buckley Wood customers choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

About our bath resealing in Buckley Wood

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Buckley Wood

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Buckley Wood: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
