Book bath resealing in Burslem

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Burslem: your questions answered

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Burslem?

We do. Technicians travel to Burslem from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Signs you need bath resealing in Burslem

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burslem as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
