Trusted bath resealing in Cadeleigh

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Cadeleigh

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, we can help.

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

Cadeleigh questions

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How much does bath resealing cost in Cadeleigh?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Cadeleigh?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cadeleigh. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
