Bath resealing for Calais Street homes

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Calais Street. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle bath resealing in Calais Street

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Calais Street

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Calais Street.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Are there extra charges for Calais Street?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calais Street

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in Calais Street

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
