Bath resealing for Burston homes

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Bath resealing in Burston without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Burston. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Burston: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How much does bath resealing cost in Burston?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Landlord and trade work in Burston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Burston

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
