Bath resealing in California without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can generally put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in California?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice

Why it’s worth resealing in California

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why California customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
